What’s up friends and family! 

It's been a minute since I've written an email. I would say I'll do better next time, but this is going to be the last email I write as a missionary. I have one more p-day and I'll be busy packing to go home the next day so this is going to be it. I've never been one to write a ton and that's not going to change today, but I do want to take a moment to share some things that I've seen, felt and learned as a result of serving a mission for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. First and foremost I have felt an outpouring of Heavenly Father's love for me and ALL His children. I know God lives and loves all of His children. He has a perfect plan that will enable us all to live with Him again. Jesus Christ is real, He lives. If we come unto Him He can make our lives the most joyful, fulfilling, and rewarding. Any struggle or challenge you face no matter how small or how big He understands. He felt and experienced all of these things in order to be able to comfort us and strengthen us when we ourselves face these experiences. I've seen real people face real challenges and  real struggles. Life is hard. No one will be exempt from their own personal trials. More importantly I've seen how Jesus Christ and His teachings, found both in the Book of Mormon and the Bible, are able to comfort, strengthen, heal and help these people to find joy during their trials. I've even seen them overcome these trials and I know that it was only through the Savior that it was possible. God's power, his priesthood is here on the earth today and found in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ with others has brought me more joy than anything else I've ever done in my life. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father allowed me to serve His children in this way. I look forward to seeing many of you again soon. If you have any questions about the things I experienced on my mission and/or the testimony I have shared today feel free to hit me up! I love you all and pray that God will be with you.

Hey Elder Adams!

Dad and I are driving the final leg home from Rexburg today and I just remembered it is Monday - aka Pday!!!

Heidi got settled in her apartment over the weekend, met her new Ward yesterday, and today is her first day of classes. She is all grown up. 🥹🥲

If I’m counting correctly - you have 4 weeks left in your mission. Make every day of them awesome! As always, you know your fans would love to hear from you - what you have been up to, recent scripture you have read and enjoyed, your testimony, etc. 

Speaking of sharing stuff  - yesterday I read Elder Holland’s 2012 talk
It is soooo refreshing to read, I needed to hear it!!!!

I hope you have a fabulous Pday - be so productive and get yo-self ready for another week to serve! 
I love you Cody!
❤️, Madre
